- Cyphase 10y agoI just watched this twice. It made me smile, hopeful, and happy. Thank you.
- stat 10y agoI watched this 10 times in a row. It gave me shivers every time...
- jimmaswell 10y agoIf you liked this, you'll probably also like MelodySheep's Symphony of Science series. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zSgiXGELjbc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zSgiXGELjbc
- iamjeff 10y agoThis brought me to tears, literally... There is a beauty to the words that is hard to describe other than to say it gives "meaning" (for lack of a better word) to life on this rock.
- jimmaswell 10y agoAnother good video is Sagan's "Pale Blue Dot" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4PN5JJDh78I&feature=youtu.be https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4PN5JJDh78I&feature=youtu.be
- smaddox 10y agoHave you seen Reid Gower's Sagan Series? http://saganseries.com http://saganseries.com It similarly combines HD cinematography with Carl Sagan's narration. It's not CG like this, but the overall quality is extremely high (at least after the first chapter).
- rnikhil275 10y agoIt actually reminded me of Rick and Morty Season 2 last episode.
- rangibaby 10y agoIt reminded me of the end (spoiled by the poster, of course) of the (somewhat obscure) NZ sci-fi flick "The Quiet Earth": https://assets.mubi.com/images/film/14662/image-w856.jpg?1445882511 https://assets.mubi.com/images/film/14662/image-w856.jpg?144...
- FlorianRappl 10y agoWonderful and inspiring. I loved the narration from Carl Sagan. One of the greatest.
- madarco 10y agoIt reminds me of Land and Overland by Bob Shaw: "The setting for the trilogy is a pair of planets, Land and Overland, which orbit about a common centre of gravity, close enough to each other that they share a common atmosphere." They don't share a common atmosphere, but I guess the delta required for interplanetary transfer is really low.
- mmrezaie 10y agoI was very stressed and watching this calm me down. Thanks
- pamparosendo 10y agoGreat film!
- dTal 10y agoWanderers is indeed excellent. See also: the timelapse footage of the sky from the VLT, Paranal. Just thinking about it gives me vertigo. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wFpeM3fxJoQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wFpeM3fxJoQ
- nicolewhite 10y agoReminds me of the movie Melancholia.
- ooqr 10y agoI was very skeptical but pleasantly surprised.
- pault 10y agoI get a little choked up every time I watch this.
